Brady Quinn - QB - Cleveland Browns

Brady Quinn completed 21-of-33 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns in Week 11 against the Lions.

What's more shocking, Quinn throwing for 300 yards and four scores after totaling three touchdowns all season or that the Browns still lost? Quinn looked to make plays down field far more often than usual and the Lions' secondary blowing coverages led to a pair of home run balls in the first half. He also added a pair of touchdowns near the goal line in what was obviously an extremely encouraging outing, but Detroit's sorry defense played a big part as well.

Aaron Rodgers - QB - Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers completed 32 of a season-high 45 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 30-24 win over San Francisco in Week 11.

Rodgers shredded San Francisco for for his seventh multi-touchdown game in the last eight weeks. Most promisingly, the Packers protected Rodgers well (he took only two sacks), allowing him to take more vertical shots. On his second-quarter touchdown to Greg Jennings, Rodgers operated from the shotgun to hit Jennings over the middle and watch him do the rest of the work down the seams. Rodgers has another highly favorable matchup at Detroit in Week 12.

Chris Chambers - WR - Kansas City Chiefs

Chris Chambers caught four passes for 119 yards as the Chiefs survived Ben Roethlisberger's 398 passing yards in a 27-24 overtime upset win over the Steelers in Week 11.

The Chiefs passing game was futile all day until the fourth quarter and overtime. One play after Ike Taylor nearly picked a deep ball, Chambers took a short pass and rumbled 61 yards to set up the game-winning 22-yard field goal. The Chiefs' interim No. 1 receiver has averaged 83 yards in three games since getting claimed on waivers.

Tony Romo - QB - Dallas Cowboys

Tony Romo completed 15-of-27 passes for 158 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's win over the Redskins.

This was another terrible performance by the Cowboys offense. They wisely tried to implement a run-heavy attack early, but that failed to put points on the board. Then they went to the pass and Romo struggled to connect with any of his wideouts. Romo has a short week to get ready for the Raiders on Thanksgiving day.

Sidney Rice - WR - Minnesota Vikings

Sidney Rice caught six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11 against the Seahawks.

Rice was held to one catch in the first half and dropped a potential goal line touchdown thanks to a big hit, but then went off for a pair of scores after halftime. He went up in traffic to haul in a seven-yard floater from Brett Favre, hanging on despite tons of contact, and then turned a quick completion from Tarvaris Jackson into a 34-yard score late. Rice has 642 yards in his last five games after totaling 537 yards through his first two seasons.

Peyton Manning - QB - Indianapolis Colts

Peyton Manning completed 22-of-31 yards for 299 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's win over the Ravens.

Manning wasn't anywhere near his best, but it was just barely enough. The Ravens made a point of taking Dallas Clark out of the game so Manning was forced to go to the much more unreliable Tom Santi. Manning will be an elite option against the Texans next week.

Ben Roethlisberger - QB - Pittsburgh Steelers

Ben Roethlisberger was sidelined with head injury during overtime of Sunday's game at Kansas City.

Roethlisberger took a knee to the head on a diving scramble. He was down for a couple of minutes while trainers checked him out but was able to walk off under his power. Charlie Batch has come on to replace him, though it's not certain if Big Ben will return.
